Hi all, I really hope someone can help me with this.
In 2005, I wrote for this magazine called Rouge and the publishing
company folded several months later. Since then I've been chasing
for payment to no avail. The publisher also owns a Jap language
school, Inoue (www.inoue.com.sg) and I visited the publisher at
Inoue 3 times, and emailed and smsed her many times more.
1st trip - Publisher gave me a cheuqe - that bounced
2nd trip - Publisher first gave me a sob story of how her business
was not doing well and then started yelling at me when I insisted
on payment. I then made her sign a memo to pay me in 2
instalments.
3rd trip - Publisher gave me cheque. (Jap teachers walking all
around = bad bussiness?). Signed another memo certifying that the
first instalment has been paid and will pay me 2nd instalment on a
certain date.
Couldn't cash cheque - apparently the company [b]cancelled
the cheque.
I don't have the cash to bring them to court and the sum owed
(below $2k) doesn't justify me in sueing them myself. Is there any
way I can get my money back?[/b]
Bring them to the small claims tribunal... you need to pay $50/-
when you register your claim.
Since you have a bounced cheque, you are sure to win...
